Company registration in Ukraine: LLC or FOP, with accounting from day one
Company formation in Kyiv and across Ukraine, including remotely by power of attorney.
Register a company in Ukraine as a foreigner
Yes, foreigners can register an LLC in Ukraine or become a FOP (individual entrepreneur), and we work with foreign founders and directors every step of the way. You will need a Ukrainian tax number (RNOKPP). Documents issued abroad need an apostille or legalization, a Ukrainian translation and a notarized translation.
If the founder is a foreign company, the registrar needs proof of its registration in its home country and details of its ultimate beneficial owners. A foreign FOP also needs legal grounds to stay in Ukraine. We check your case before filing and can act under a power of attorney, so you don’t have to travel to Kyiv.

LLC registration: charter, capital and documents
Ukraine sets no minimum charter capital: the participants choose the amount. Each participant must pay in their contribution within six months of registration, unless the charter sets a different term.
The filing includes the charter or a decision to use the government’s model charter, the founders’ resolution and the ownership structure. A founder can also be the director, and a company seal is optional. If you need a shareholders’ agreement or custom exit rules, we can draft them as part of our contract drafting and review service.
| FOP | LLC | |
|---|---|---|
| Liability | All personal assets | Company assets; a participant risks their contribution |
| Taxes | Simplified tax (groups 1–3) or general system | Simplified tax (group 3) or corporate income tax |
| Money for the owner | Income after tax is yours | Through dividends, taxed separately |
| Partners and investors | Not possible | Shares can be sold or transferred |
Taxes and VAT from day one
The tax regime is chosen before the documents are filed, which is where an accountant matters. An application for the simplified tax system and, if you wish, for VAT registration can be filed together with the company registration documents. That way the business doesn’t start on a regime you never chose.
We compare the tax burden of each option on your own figures and explain how reporting will change. We don’t guess rates and limits: they depend on your activity, clients and plans.
FOP registration and non-profits
A Ukrainian citizen can register a FOP online in the Diia app free of charge with a qualified electronic signature. The hard part is choosing the right simplified tax group and activity codes, so you don’t overpay or limit who you can sell to. We file the simplified tax application together with the registration.
We also register non-profit organizations — NGOs and charitable foundations. Their registration takes longer than an LLC or FOP, and the organization also needs non-profit status with the tax office. Afterwards we can keep the books and handle financial and tax reporting.
Bookkeeping from the day of registration
The first months decide whether your books stay clean: first reports, single social contribution (SSC), VAT and payroll — with no missed deadlines. Your accountant starts on the day of registration, and our lawyers and accountants work side by side. See comprehensive bookkeeping for details. For later legal tasks — contracts, inspections, disputes — see legal support for business, and protect your brand with trademark registration.
